I'm not a big believer in revolutions. What people call revolutions in technology were more of a shift in perception - from big machines to PC's (the technology just evolved, fairly slowly at that), and from PC's to the internet. The next "revolution" is going to be the same thing - not about the technology itself being revolutionary, but a shift in how you look at it and how you use it.

What I find most interesting is how people really have taken Linux and used it in ways and attributes and motivations that I never felt.

It just makes it even harder for people to even approach the (open source) side, when they then end up having to worry about public humiliation.

I obviously think that freely available software can not only keep up with the evolution of commercial software, but often exceed what you can do commercially.

If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I've won.

Security people are often the black-and-white kind of people that I can't stand. I think the OpenBSD crowd is a bunch of masturbating monkeys, in that they make such a big deal about concentrating on security to the point where they pretty much admit that nothing else matters to them.

OK, I admit it. I was just a front-man for the real fathers of Linux, the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus.
